People

The M.D./Ph.D. program at the University of Toledo on the Health Science Campus consists
of a diverse group of excellent students, faculty, staff, and alumni. These people are the foundation of our program. We are proud of everyone who contributes
to the M.D./Ph.D. program.

The Students of the M.D./Ph.D Program The students of the M.D./Ph.D. program are highly qualified and talented students
with interests both in clinical medicine and medical science research. Our students
play an active role in the program through participation in numerous events and activities held throughout the year.

The Faculty and Staff of the M.D./Ph.D. Program The faculty and staff of the M.D./Ph.D. program hold positions in either the College
of Medicine, the College of Graduate Studies, or both. Representatives from both
schools serve on the M.D./Ph.D. committee, which plays an integral role in the organization
of the program. Among other functions, the M.D./Ph.D. committee provides the program
with organization, plays an integral role in the admissions process, and conducts
business related to the program.

The Alumni of the M.D./Ph.D. Program Recent M.D./Ph.D. graduates from UT have entered highly competitive residencies, and
a few have gone on to distinguished academic careers at such institutions as Henry
Ford Health System, Johns Hopkins and Harvard Medical School. Twenty-six M.D./Ph.D.
dual degrees have been awarded since the first student graduated in 1992.

Alumni and friends of the M.D./Ph.D. program of the University of Toledo are encouraged
to participate in the University of Toledo Alumni Association, which focuses on developing and implementing ways to keep our graduates in touch
with each other as well as their alma mater.

The M.D./Ph.D. program also welcomes and encourages alumni to participate in current
M.D./Ph.D. program affairs as well as provide suggestions and services. If an alumnus
would like to meet with or speak to current MD/PhD students, perhaps to share their
insights and experiences as a dual-degree holder, s/he should e-mail Marianne Pohlman
(marianne.pohlman@utoledo.edu).
